Doom 3 BFG Edition takes place in the future and on Mars. Things go crazy at the start when some sort of futuristic Necro-science unleashes hell all over the damn place. So it’s up to you Marine; it’s time to drive those zombies, imps, and other various Hellspawn back to the depths! If this all sound very familiar, well, that’s because it should. Doom 3 BFG Edition is a strange Billy Pilgrim of a game, floating unstuck in time. You see, Doom 3 was actually released several years ago during the last console generation. It was released as a re-boot

The Border Lands – Review
Gearbox Software and 2K Games have managed to one-up the fun, tongue-in-cheek marketing campaign for their upcoming highly anticipated role-playing shooter Borderlands 2 yet again with The Border Lands. Set in 1989 with stunning 16-bit (16-bit!) graphics, this free browser game de-make drops Vault hunters in a digitized rendering of Pandora where they must survive round after round of enemies while collecting guns and leveling up.

NBA 2K12 video game is mostly ‘Greatest’
NBA 2K12 dropped a couple of weeks ago during a VERY crowded week of video game releases. Another looming factor in the mix was the current state of the NBA and if the season would commence or not. As it stands now – the NBA lockout is currently happening and the first two weeks of the NBA season were canceled. With the NBA still in flux this means that rookies are ‘locked’ out of play in the NBA 2K12 video game (as well as real life basketball).
